This is everything that we could have asked for and more.
Keanu Reeves has had an amazing run in the past few years, just with the success of the John Wick franchise alone!
But this is definitely the icing on the cake.
Legendary Entertainment
Confirmed: Keanu Reeves Is Working With Marvel To Bring Him Into The Universe
So the Marvel Universe has had a lot of amazing actors.

And that's not even counting Marvel Fox.
In the MCU, RDJ was in almost all of the films and he did a stellar job.
But now that Disney bought Marvel Fox, it opens up new doors.

Most importantly: the X-Men.
Fans are very eager to see what mutants make their way over to the MCU.
Especially now that *Dark Phoenix* is over.

It ended on a pretty strong note, but it's time for the X-Men to lay down their suits in Fox.
Enter Keanu Reeves.
BuzzFeed Celeb
In 2019 alone, Keanu made headlines for what seems like hundreds of moments.
By 2020, he's officially the internet's boyfriend.
He is even wanted for *Time Magazine*'s Person of the Year.
Legendary Entertainment
A petition got started on change.org for this to happen!
As of right now, it has over 7,000 signatures. That's pretty wild.
It was rumored for some time that he was speaking with Marvel.
Universal Pictures
But nothing was ever confirmed.
Marvel keeps a pretty tight lid on things, especially for their cinematic universe.
But now, we actually have some news about the matter.
Universal Pictures
And we're pretty sure it's going to make you topple out of your chair.
This is what we've been waiting for!
Brandon Davis, a reporter for ComicBook.com asked the million dollar question to Kevin Feige:
Legendary Entertainment
“A couple of actors I want to ask you about. Keanu Reeves: you guys talking to him for anything?” Davis asked.
And Feige responded with the answer we've been waiting for.
Universal Pictures
“We talk to him for almost every film we make,” Feige said. "I don’t know when, if, or ever he’ll join the MCU, but we very much want to figure out the right way to do it.”
That is EVERYTHING!
Legendary Entertainment
Now we just really need him to play one of the most iconic heroes!
He had said he wanted to play Wolverine... Could that be it?
We're hoping to see him very soon!
Universal Pictures
Hopefully super, super soon.
It would be amazing to see him in the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Who would you want him to play? Let us know in the comments!
